Fratelli Alessandria's history in Barolo goes back to the mid 1800s with familial connection to the Burlottos. They age for around 3 long years in traditional, larger Slavonian and French oak vats, favoring a moderately pure expression of the fruit.
The San Lorenzo vineyard in Verduno (close to the Tanaro river) faces south toward the midday sun, high up the slope, but still only around 250m in altitude. While Verduno is known for the 'elegant' side to broad-shouldered Barolo, this bottling tends to shows a generous fruit and rounded tannic structure, along with a more subdued acidity.
